Abstract

Tooth extraction is the main reason for alveolar bone resorption. Overdentures have several benefits in prosthodontic treatment, including maintaining alveolar ridge height, increasing denture stability, maintaining proprioceptive sensors, and improving masticatory efficiency. This article reports the use of a complete denture with a conventional overdenture as a rehabilitation treatment of the partial edentulous in the upper and lower jaws. A 70-year-old man came to the Department of Prosthodontics RSGM Hasanuddin University with complaints of difficulty chewing food due to partial loss of upper and lower jaw teeth, the patient wanted to make a denture without tooth extraction due to trauma in previous tooth extraction. It was concluded that the use of a complete denture with two copings on the upper and lower jaws can improve the retention and stability.
